THIS WEEK'S
WORD OF ADMONITION:
You don’t need your name on the front sign of a church to be used by God. You don’t need to have man’s title of “doctor” or “pastor” before your name or letters after your name along with plagues on the wall in order to bring the gospel to people, (in any setting) or for God to mightily use you.
Stop being bamboozled by man’s carnal-minded and self-centered anti-scriptural concoctions. It is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life being paraded before the fearful and unsuspecting who refuse to study for themselves.
THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“GOD’S PECKING ORDER”
1) The “chain of command” in today’s local institutional church; 2) An unbiblical monstrosity.
“God’s pecking order has been established in His church.”
Getting “churchianity deprogrammed” out of your life can be very difficult at times but when you do,
IT IS ONLY THEN THAT YOU WILL BEGIN TO REALLY BELIEVE AND PRACTICE WHAT JESUS TAUGHT.
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed…”
1 Corinthians 15:51
See the truth come to life!
THIS WEEK'S
"The Pastoral Office"
“When you give back to God a tenth, it will turn the corner in many areas of your life.”
The Pharisee
The Pharisee is alive and well. The Pharisee is not an extinct species. In fact, you will meet the Pharisee at your local church and, if you are honest, you may catch a glimpse of the Pharisee in your bathroom mirror from time to time.
A Pharisee’s man-made observances, traditions, and “worship services” subvert and neutralize the commands of God.
This is one of their most deadly actions for it twists, and in many cases, totally ignores what God has said and puts the teachings and practices of man over and above divine revelation.
Remember that Jesus’ harshest words and fiercest battles involved
the Pharisees.
Is anyone free to leave “your church” anytime they choose
(without being labeled – “turncoat,” “backslider,” “apostate,” “heretic,” “blasphemer,” or even worse!)
